Comment on The original series has an endearing flair for the dramatic

What are you talking about? They didn’t make any TNG movies. I get how you could get mixed up, though, because it was a tragically wasted opportunity, just like how they only ever made three Indiana Jones movies and then stopped forever.

Interesting. I legit thought First Contact was excellent. I’ve gotten multiple people into Star Trek using that film as the gateway.

There was a family of the most normal people you can imagine and I showed that film to my friend, their eldest son. The next thing I know they have a cat named Tuvok and are dressing up like away teams for Halloween. It was awesome.

  First Contact is the best TNG movie.
  
  It continues threads from the series with Picard dealing with PTSD from being assimilated and with Data wanting to be more human. It is probably the most cinematic of the movies, both in acting and in cinematography. You also have the A and B plots working well together.

  Hmm, I am going to try to bribe my wife to watch it. After her sitting through 4 Stargate seasons, she doesn’t trust any sci Fi recommendations from me anymore. 🤪

    Oh man, if you didn’t show her Window of Opportunity, you definitely should. That’s how the show got its hooks in a lot of my friends and family.

And some movies are fine the way it is. Like how The Matrix just stands on its own and never had any sequels.

They did do that long episode with a bigger budget about the guys with bad facelifts. It was kinda like a movie.

Good thing they ended Back to the Future with a paradox, thus ensuring there could never be any sequels.

I can’t ignore the TNG movies when they gave us scenes like Data hating a drink and asking for more.
